Oasis Rehabilitation and Nursing

In addition to receiving an elite overall grade, this facility also earned an A+ inspection grade. This score is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. Our inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home performed well in the category of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that area, which is one of our highest grades. Our short-term care grade is often used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care grades this year. Indeed, we gave it one of our stronger scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.45055 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The next category we assessed is nursing, where this facility received a C. While this ended up being its weakest category grade, this is still not a terrible score. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused measures. We look at the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these issues.
